    American League The better 2B?

    I am going to start posting polls everywhere to drum up some debates over this final month and for the playoffs. Where better to start than the Evil Nation and Evil Empire?

    So, which second baseman would you rather have... Robinson Cano or Dustin Pedroia. Both recently hit clean up in the Red Sox-Yankees series, both are having great years. Both are all-stars. Both are Gold Glove talents.

    i think pedroia does more with less. in other words, i think cano has more natural talent, but is also a bit more lacksadaisical. pedroia plays the game harder.

    id still rather cano though. hes my favorite player in the game though, so meh.

    I bet she's going berserk over Tony Campana and Jose Altuve right now.

    Re: The better 2B?

    Cano is a franchise player, so I went with him. Nothing against Pedroia, I just don't believe he's going to keep it up for the long haul.

    And it's funny you should mention Campana. I literally just read on a board that won't be named, that some posters believe that Campana should take over for Soriano next season. What a joke.

    I think Pedroia is a better fit for the Red Sox... Cano is a better fit for the Yankees... both are studs... its like choosing between baseball and football... both are equally awesome

    Wait. The guy has a career OPS just above .700 in the minors. You have to be kidding. I agree that Soriano shouldn't be starting anymore, but there's plenty of better options than Tony Campana.

    In your opinion. Football used to be awesome when they were actually allowed to hit the other players.

    As for the topic, it's clearly Pedroia. He is better in just about every facet of the game.
